Mrs R. l.. Taft is visiting friends in Great Burlington Mrs Ruluf Rood went to Pittsfeld last Thursday to visit relatives and friends, expecting to stay about a week. .. Mrs A. B. Carter, of ockbridge, was guest at sH. R. Bunnell's last week. MT Ed Cook had his two-year-old colt quite badly cut on barbed wire fence one day last week. On Thursday evening the peo- pie in this vicinity were invited to the house of Allen Houghtaling, who lives with Mrs Bishop on the old Jonathan Prescott place, to witness the blooming of their night blooming cereus. A few of us responded to the call and felt we'll paid, for it was beautiful sight. The plant is about six feet high, and there were six large, perfect blossoms intermingled with the beautiful dark green foliage, made Q sight rarely seen about here. Wednesday night they said three opened, and Tuesday night two, making eleven blossoms in three successive nights, and there are more buds started. I think they know how to grow them up there, as this plant blossomed twice in July. They said those that opened the night before we were there did not shut up until II o'clock that day, which I suppose is unusual. The buds began to unfold about o'clock and gradually unfolded until about 10, when they measured g inches across. We were 10th to leave such marvel of beauty.

The Fate Edward B. COwles,

Edward B. Cowles, of Rye, N. Y., was drowned in the St Lawrence river, Aug. 10, by accidentally falling from the steamer, "Quebec" while en-route from Montreal to Quebec. His body was recovered after diligent search and was taken to his home in Rye, arriving there about 10 o'clock on Wednesday, Aug. IT., and the funeral services were held at the Rye Presbyterian church on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 18th, at five o'clock. The Port Chester Journal of Aug. IS published the following obitua- ry:
 Edward Boise Cowles was the eldest son of the late Edward P. Cowles of the Supreme court, and was born Oct. 2d, 1854. He graduated from Colum bia Law School in 1875, and immediately commenced the practice of law in New York, occupying the offices at No. 33 Wall St., which his father had used for many years. He was an excellent law yer. of first-class reputation, with large and rapidly increasing practice, very much esteemed by the members of the bar, who had formed high opinion of his talents. He had served as referee in number of important cases. A prominent New York lawyer says :: |" He had already made for himself an enviable position and could not have failed to reach distinction in the pro- fession." MT Cowles was member of "The Union League" and American Yacht" Clubs. In politics he was an ardent and active Republican, and was several times sent as delegate to the County Conventions. He was exceed ingly jealous in measures of reform, both in the county and in the town in which he resided. A public spirited citizen, highly esteemed and respected by all who knew him. In 1875 he uni ted with the Presbyterian church of Rye, upon profession of his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and led consistent christian life; by precept and example he was the means of doing good and efficient service for his Master. At the time of his death and for many years previous, he was member of the Board of Trustees of the Church, and though the youngest one of the board his coun- sel was much prized and his judgment considered sound. He was an affection ate and dutiful son, a beloved brother, kind friend and neighbor.

SOUTH CANAAN.

The following account of the funeral services of the late Rev B. F. Howe, former pastor in this place is from the Peoria Daily Transcript:
 "The great Congregational church was densely packed on Sunday after noon by friends and former parishion- CTS, eager to pay to the memory of the Rev B. Frank Howe the last sad marks of honor and esteem. The Sunday school attended as body, and all the churches in the city were represented. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers. The following resolutions, adopted at meeting of the ministers of the city, were read by the Rev 0. B. Hewett.
 WHEREAS, it has pleased our Heaven ly Father to call from labor unto rest, the Rev B. Frank Howe, recently pastor of the 1st Cong. church in this city, 8 brother beloved and now deeply lamen- ted, we hereby express our sense of great loss and deep bereavement in view of his removal from among us. We have loved him as a christian brother, and brother he has shown himself to be, maintaining with all of us, the most fraternal relations. We have esteemed him as a christian man, cheerful, hope full, courageous, generous, fair minded, noble hearted and open handed, frankly expressing decided opinions which were always worthy of respect. We have emulated his example as a preacher and pastor, as that of workman who had no need to be ashamed. Earnest, apt, skillful, diligent and devoted and also successful, his work accomplished being his best monument. We have likewise admired our brother and fellow pastor for his wide interest in his fellow men, of whatever condition, and whether at home or abroad, for his public spirit, his philanthropy, his benevolence, his zeal for missions and his forwardness to do good to all men as he had opportuni- ty.
 Our sorrow in view of the loss we have sustained is tempered by pleasant memories of the past, and by that hope of the future, which on his part, has been already exchanged for glad frui- tion. To the widow and children of the deceased we extend our hearty sympa- thy, commenting them to the care of the Divine Comforter, who is best able | to console.
